Proceedings of Workshop AEW10: Concepts in Information Theory and Communications

The 10th Asia-Europe workshop in "Concepts in Information Theory and Communications" AEW10 was held in Boppard, Germany on June 21-23, 2017. It is based on a longstanding cooperation between Asian and European scientists. The first workshop was held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands in 1989. The idea of the workshop is threefold: 1) to improve the communication between the scientist in the different parts of the world; 2) to exchange knowledge and ideas; and 3) to pay a tribute to a well respected and special scientist.

On Multiple Hypothesis Testing with Rejection Option

We study the problem of multiple hypothesis testing (HT) in view of a rejection option. That model of HT has many different applications. Errors in testing of M hypotheses regarding the source distribution with an option of rejecting all those hypotheses are considered. The source is discrete and arbitrarily varying (AVS). The tradeoffs among error probability exponents/reliabilities associated with false acceptance of rejection decision and false rejection of true distribution are investigated and the optimal decision strategies are outlined. The main result is specialized for discrete memoryless sources (DMS) and studied further. An interesting insight that the analysis implies is the phenomenon (comprehensible in terms of supervised/unsupervised learning) that in optimal discrimination within M hypothetical distributions one permits always lower error than in deciding to decline the set of hypotheses. Geometric interpretations of the optimal decision schemes are given for the current and known bounds in multi-HT for AVS's.
